Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal.

Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the following: Read all instructions before using the appliance. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not install or use a washer with visible damage. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. Do not install your washing machine where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst under pressure. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing.
7

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before connecting the machine, ensure that the connection data
on the data plate (fusing, voltage and frequency) match the mains electrical supply. If in doubt contact an electrician. Do not use an extension cord to connect this appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). This appliance is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Dept. with specific requirements. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in these operating instructions. If the power cord is damaged it must only be replaced by a Miele Service technician with a genuine Miele power cord. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any built-up hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time, the gas is flammable. Before the appliance is removed for service or discarded, remove the door.
8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervi-
sion is necessary when the appliance is used near children. The drum door glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not touch the glass. Danger of burns! Keep children away from the washer when in use. Only use the washing machine to wash items which are specified by the manufacturer to be machine washable on the fabric care label. Any other applications may be dangerous. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable substances. These articles give off vapors that could ignite or explode. Do not add these items to the wash load. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors which could ignite or explode. Do not use cleaning solvents on or near the machine or the controls. Contact with cleaning solvents will damage the surface.. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Do not tamper with the controls. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Miele Tumble Dryers and Miele Washing Machines can be in-
stalled as a washer-dryer stack. This requires a Miele Washer-Dryer Stacking Kit which can be purchased separately. Please ensure that the washer-dryer stacking kit is suitable for the Miele Tumble Dryer and the Miele Washing Machine. If installing the machine on a Miele Plinth (available as an optional accessory), please make sure you order the correct one for this washing machine. If detergent has come into contact with the eyes, rinse out immediately with plenty of lukewarm water. If detergent has accidentally been ingested, seek medical advice immediately. People with damaged or sensitive skin should avoid contact with detergent. When adding or removing laundry during the main wash, your skin may come into contact with detergent, particularly if the detergent is dispensed externally. Take care when placing your hands inside the drum. If suds have come into contact with the skin, rinse off immediately with lukewarm water. This washing machine is supplied with a special lamp to cope with particular conditions (e.g., temperature, moisture, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and vibration). This special lamp must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. It is not suitable for room lighting. Replacement lamps should only be installed by a Miele authorized technician or by Miele Technical Service. The maximum dry laundry weight is 19.8 lb (9 kg). See the “Program chart” for the maximum recommended loads for individual programs.

1. Preparing the laundry

Emptying pockets

Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents. When using solvent-based cleaning agents, an explosive mixture may develop. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing machine.

Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause damage to garments and components in the machine. Check the laundry before washing and remove any such foreign objects.
Sorting the laundry
Sort the laundry according to color and the garment care label.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas and stains should be cleaned as soon as possible. Stains should be carefully dabbed off using a soft, colorfast cloth.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents. Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts. When pre-treating a stain, make sure that plastic parts do not come into contact with cleaning agents.

General tips – Do not machine wash items which
are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on the care label (). – Curtains: Remove rollers and lead weights or place in a laundry bag. – Sew in or remove any loose underwiring in bras. – Turn garments inside out, if recommended by the manufacturer. – Zip up or close any jackets with Velcro or hook and eye fastenings before washing. – Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases to prevent small items from becoming rolled up inside them. – Please refer to the “Program chart” for more tips and tricks.

23

2. Loading the washing machine

Opening the door

Closing the door

Reach under the door grip and pull the door open. Check the drum for foreign objects before loading it with laundry.
Unfold the laundry and load loosely into the drum.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning. The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed. However, do not overload as this reduces cleaning efficiency and causes creasing.

Make sure that no items are caught between the door and the seal.
Shut the door gently.

CapDosing
3 different types of cap are available:
= Fabric care (e.g., fabric softener, proofing agent)
= Additives (e.g., detergent enhancers)
= Detergent (for the main wash only)
Only one cap can be selected per wash program. Depending on the setting selected, the detergent, additive, or fabric care agent will be dispensed via the cap for this wash program.
Each cap contains the correct amount for one wash cycle. Caps are available to order from Miele’s online store, Miele Technical Service, or from your Miele dealer.
Caps pose a health risk.
The ingredients of caps can be hazardous to health if they are swallowed or come into contact with skin. Keep caps out of the reach of children.

Extra options

You can add extra options to the wash programs. Not all extra options can be selected with every program. If an extra option is not listed, it is not permitted for use with the wash program in question.
Selecting extra options
Touch the Extras sensor control. Select one or more of the extra op-
tions available. Confirm with the OK sensor control if
several extra options are available.
Pre-wash
A pre-wash can be added for heavily soiled laundry. Coarse soiling is loosened and removed before the main wash.
Pre-rinse
The laundry is rinsed before the main wash to remove larger quantities of soiling, e.g., dust, sand.
Rinse plus
An extra rinse can be activated to achieve a more thorough wash result.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items with protein stains. The soak duration is 10 minutes.

Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency is increased through more intense mechanical action and the application of more heat energy.
Water plus
The water level in the main wash and the rinses will be increased.
SoftSteam
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry undergoes a smoothing process at the end of the program. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will achieve a better result. Small loads achieve a better result. The textiles must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer and suitable for ironing .
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse and remains in the rinse water. This helps prevent creasing if the laundry is not going to be removed from the drum immediately after the end of the program.
Starch stop
Water is drained out of the machine before the last rinse and the program stops. The prepared starch is added directly to the drum. The program is continued with the Start/Stop sensor control.

Special features in the program sequence

Spinning
Final spin speed When a program is selected, the maximum spin speed for this wash program is shown in the display. You can reduce the final spin speed. However, you cannot select a final spin speed higher than that shown in the chart.

Anti-crease
At the end of the program, the drum continues to turn at intervals for up to 30 minutes to help prevent creasing. The washing machine can be opened at any time.
There is no anti-crease phase at the end of some programs.

Rinse-spin There is a spin cycle after the main wash and between the rinse cycles. A reduction in the final spin speed will also reduce the rinse-spin speed as appropriate.

Deselecting the rinse-spin and final spin Select the program setting Spin
speed 0. After the last rinse cycle, the water will be pumped away and the anti-crease phase will switch on.

Cleaning and care

Risk of electric shock.
Only ever perform cleaning and maintenance work when the appliance is disconnected from the power. Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.
Cleaning the housing and control panel
Damage caused by cleaning
agents. Solvent-based cleaning agents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, or multi-purpose cleaning agents can cause damage to plastic surfaces and other parts. Do not use any of these cleaning agents.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the use of liquid detergent can lead to a build-up of bacteria in the detergent dispenser drawer. For hygiene reasons, clean the entire
drawer at regular intervals.

Risk of damage due to ingress of
water. The pressure of a water jet can cause water to get into the washing machine, resulting in damage to components. Do not spray the washing machine with a water jet when hosing down.
Clean the housing and control panel with a mild cleaning agent or soap and water and dry both with a soft cloth.
The drum and any other stainless steel components can be cleaned using a suitable stainless-steel cleaning agent.

Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer until a resistance is felt. Press down the release button and at the same time pull the drawer right out of the machine.

54

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum, suds container, and drainage system

Cleaning the sealing ring

By using wash programs with temperatures of 140°F (60°C) or higher on a regular basis and using a multi-purpose detergent, you can avoid a buildup of bacteria in the washing machine.

Use the Clean Machine program regularly, especially if you frequently use wash programs with low temperatures. Optimum results can be achieved by using a machine cleaner. Alternatively, a multi-purpose powder detergent can be used. Start the Clean machine program. Dispense the machine cleaner or
multi-purpose detergent directly into the drum. Do not load any laundry. The drum must be empty for the Clean Machine program. At the end of the program, check the inner drum and remove any coarse residues.

Check the fold in the sealing ring for foreign objects.
Clean the sealing ring and the inner fold of the sealing ring with a damp cloth.
Tip: Leave the door slightly open to allow the drum to dry.

Use the Clean Machine program regularly if you frequently use disinfection programs.

55

Cleaning and care

Frequently asked questions

Unsatisfactory wash results

Problem Liquid detergent is not achieving the required results.
White residues which look like powder detergent are seen on dark textiles after washing. Textiles that were very greasy are not properly clean.

Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee, and tea stains. Use powder detergent containing a bleaching
agent. Pour stain removers into the drawer in the dis-
penser compartment and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball. Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in the detergent dispenser drawer.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended up on the laundry. Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry. In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent
which contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do not usually contain zeolites.
Select a program with pre-wash. Use liquid detergent for the pre-wash.
Use an industrially available powder detergent for the main wash.

The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Please seek advice from the detergent and cleaning agent manufacturer.

INSTALLATION

Installation and connection

Water connection
Cold water connection The washing machine should be connected to a domestic water supply in accordance with current local and national safety regulations. The German authorities do not require it to have a non-return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations. The flow pressure must amount to a minimum of 14.5 psi (100 kPa) and must not exceed 145 psi (1,000 kPa). If the pressure exceeds 145 psi (1,000 kPa), a pressure reducing valve must be installed. For the connection, a faucet with a ¾ inch screw thread is required. If this type of faucet is not available, only a qualified installer may connect the washing machine to the domestic water supply.

Switching to cold water operation If the washing machine is not connected to a hot water point, you will have to configure the settings Main wash water, Pre- wash water, and Rinse water to cold (see “Supervisor level”). Unscrew the hot water hose. Screw on the stopper provided.
Maintenance Only use genuine Miele hoses that have been tested to withstand pressure of at least 1,015 psi (7,000 kPa) should you ever need a replacement.
A filter is located in the open end of the intake hose and another in the intake point to protect the water intake valves. Neither filter may be removed.

The connection point is subject to domestic water pressure. You should therefore open the faucet slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and screw thread if appropriate.

The intake hose for cold water is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.

79

INSTALLATION

Installation and connection

Hot-water connection The hot water temperature must not exceed 158°F (70°C). To minimize energy consumption during operation with hot water, the washing machine should be connected to a suitable hot water ring circuit. So-called “transmission pipes” (single pipes to hot water generators) can result in any water remaining in the pipes cooling down if not in constant use. More energy would then be consumed to heat the liquid up again. The same connection requirements as for cold water also apply to hot water. The intake hose (hot = red stripes) is connected to the faucet.
The washing machine cannot only be connected to a hot water connection. Some machine versions do not come with a hot water hose.

Water drainage
Drain pump The suds are drained through a drain pump with a 1 m delivery head. For the water to drain freely, the hose must be installed free of kinks. The swivel elbow (accessory) can be hooked onto the end of the hose.
Drainage options 1. Connected securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber nipple (there is no need to use a non-return valve). 2. Connected securely to a sink with a plastic nipple. 3. Connected securely to a floor drain. If required, the hose can be extended to a length of up to 16.4 ft (5 m). Accessories are available from your Miele dealer or Miele Technical Service.

Switching to hot water operation If the washing machine is due to be connected to a hot water point, you can configure the settings Main wash water, Pre-wash water, and Rinse water to hot (see “Supervisor level”).

Unscrew the stopper from the hot water valve.
Screw on the hot water hose.

connected. – The power plug must be easily acces-
sible after installation so that the machine can be disconnected from the power supply if necessary.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage. The data tag indicates the nominal power consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare the specifications on the data tag with those of the domestic electrical supply and make sure that they match.
The washing machine may only be connected to a permanent electrical system that conforms to the national and local codes and regulations. Do not connect the machine to an extension lead or multi-socket adapter as they do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g., danger of overheating). If the machine is hard-wired, a dual circuit breaker must be provided on-site. When switched off there must be an allpole contact gap of at least 3 mm in the isolator switch (including circuit breakers, breakers, and relays according to IEC/EN 60947). This connection process must be performed by a qualified electrician.

The plug connector or isolator switch should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock.
If the washing machine is disconnected from the power supply, protective measures should be taken to ensure that the point of disconnection cannot accidentally be switched on again. Make sure the isolator is lockable or the point of disconnection is monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the system, or servicing of the ground conductor, including determining the correct fuse rating, must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as they are familiar with the pertinent regulations and the specific requirements of the electric utility company.
If converting the washing machine to an alternative voltage, observe the instructions in the wiring diagram. Conversion must be performed by Miele Technical Service or by an authorized Miele dealer.
